Dolores Apartments

Very decent place to live they have upgraded the property it’s much nicer now. They rent how ever went up over $ 200 dollars. The new management has updated ways to communicate with the tenants via website. Other then that no complaints it’s in downtown so it’s close to everything bank, pharmacy, and good food

I have lived here for about 6 years. The apartment i reside in has a ton of natural light and is very quite at night. My neighbors are very nice and do not care when i watch tv late or have friends over. When I first moved in the apartment did not have double pained windows which made my place very cold during the winter. However our building upgraded the windows (which was a big hassle during that time). Now we spend less money on heating and the noise from the outside has been greatly reduced. The only draw back is our rent has been raised by about $ 200 a month since the time we originally moved. in. The building management told us that the market value of our apartment is way higher than what we pay and that new residences pay much more than we do now. I have no idea if that is true or not but because my apartment has close proximity to my job, bart and down town san leandro stores i will not be moving for the foreseeable future. I like my apartment and building a lot.

We just moved here and so far, I’m really thrilled with my newest digs!
Kelly, Barbara, and Lisa have been professional, friendly, and helpful with our many questions about the neighborhood, public transportation, building policies, even for the local pet stores (cat friendly building). This complex is professionally managed by Emerald Properties and so far, I’m very satisfied with their team and complex upkeep. I would say for people looking into apartments that they are very much by the book– that is, you are expected to live according to the provided rules and will be notified if you behave otherwise. Really obvious stuff.
Our neighbors have been very welcoming and the neighborhood has a good feel to it (½ block walk to San Leandro Blvd, 2 – 3 blocks from the library, maybe 5 blocks from the BART station). I used to live in downtown Oakland and it’s nice to not sleep through loud sirens, heavy traffic and the occasional helicopter.
We rented this apt with new fixtures, new carpet, and remodeled countertops and cabinetry– very sunny and open.
I refrained from 5 stars as we are new and are still getting to know the complex. Will update according to our experience.
